Win 7 x86. I am not sure re how long it has been happening. I don't
think is was as long in July 2013. It does look like it is increasing
over time.

I looked & C is minimally fragmented. Will defrag anyway.

I think that I do have a page file defrag program. Will look.

FYI, Page defrag does not work on Win 7 per Russinovich. Created in 2006.

I do use defraggler. They do not list page file on boot defrag, though.
I will try that anyway

I use C Cleaner periodically for TB cache, etc. cleanup. Probably time
to do that again.

Defaggler got hung up defragging D. I wonder if something like that
could slow shutting down?

I shut it down.

Also downloaded O & O & Auslogic defragmenters

Will do a boot time with defraggler, first.

The file defraggler got hung up on is an image IFW/IFD file created
9/14/2013.
I then picked out that file to defrag. It is happening now.

Probably should have just re-imaged and deleted then.

It does look like that file was the cause of slow shut downs. It only
takes a few seconds to shut down now.

It seems like booting up may be a bit faster, too.

P.S. Defraggler did not succeed in the boot defrag either time I put it
in to run.
